Lorraine was targeted by a Met Police officer who tried to groom her into a sexual relationship.
Lorraine says she has "absolutely no confidence" that predatory officers will be removed from the Metropolitan Police
PC Hunter, who attended her home as part of a welfare check, assured her he understood exactly what she was going through. But the officer, according to the findings of a disciplinary panel, had a "deliberate" and "predatory" plan to have a sexual relationship with her. The Metropolitan Police has been under pressure to take action against predatory officers following the crimes of Wayne Couzens and David CarrickPC Hunter did not attend the hearing in Southwark, south London, in August.PC Hunter retired in 2019, while under investigation for a case involving another vulnerable woman he had met during a welfare visit, and with whom he started a sexual relationship.
The Met told the BBC that under Sir Mark’s leadership it had increased the number of misconduct hearings and investigations, dismissing just under 100 officers in the past nine months - more than double the previous rate.However, Lorraine said she had "absolutely no confidence" that predatory officers would be removed.
Lorraine said all officers had a duty to act. "Until you stand up and say, 'not in my name', and call out every one of your colleagues you have concerns about, then nothing will change," she told me.The Met Police says it now has "a wholly different approach" in how it handles claims made against officers
